Looking for some advice

Hey Guys
Really looking for some courage here bros! I am out to my family right – and they are all seriously supportive to the point where my dad says he is just waiting to see changes in me! But I have this little problem where I haven't told any of my friends or people at work yet.
I am currently just waiting for bloods to come back from the lab and a Dr's appointment and hopefully I will be starting T. So it's going to happen, and sooner rather than later but I really want to tell my mates and be completely out etc.
My dilemma is this – like I don't pass well enough yet to demand pronouns and use the men's room. Should I start the ball rolling with my bosses and work colleagues? Like I said I want to just a little unsure if I should. And my mates.... I live like 3000kms away from the majority of them and I want to tell them but...
I guess I'm just looking for some balls hey!! Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Jay

I just blurted it out one day.
I didn't even think T was "incoming" anytime soon when I did. I just, had to tell the people I care about and the people I socialize with.

If you got the support of your family then worst case scenario, you got the support of your family. ;)

That is awesome about your family ;D

I waited until I passed 100% to come out at work even though a few people knew already.

However with my close friends I told them for the word go as I didn't want to shock them and I thought that they should all be in the picture.

Good luck with whatever you chose to do! :)

Well I basically just told everyone who matters to me via email that I'm transitioning!!
I am a little scared - I am currently skulling a drink and going out for a smoke!!
I think it will be ok. But its like this huge weight has been shifted. It wont be lifted probably til I get some responses XD
Thanks for the courage to me myself guys, much appreciated.

I waited until I was on T a few months to have everyone switch over and come out to the masses.
